Hrm. Yes, that is what I got from it. But in my case the hardware is an internal, PCI (Zap) Wildcard. I am pressuming that since I can use functions like "Wait()", then "Answer()" in dialplan to actually delay answering (for the Wait() time) that Asterisk actually "acknowledges" the call. > You would essentially need to put the delay before the call ever reaches > asterisk. So this problem isn't asterisk related... if I've understood your > question and the answer I found correctly. Hrm. Yeah. Perhaps. I guess perhaps Asterisk isn't currently able to handle deciding if the call has been hung up before it even picks it up (i.e. no more rings). Maybe a peek at the source to Asterisk and the zaptel drivers might tell me more. I just find it strange that I am the first person to want this feature. Indeed tomshardware.com has an article describing how to make an answering machine out of Asterisk by doing exactly what I tried. In my experiments though, it just don't work the way they describe it. Thanx, b. -- My other computer is your Microsoft Windows server. Brian J. Murrell
